remote call twice in one page

[travisbrown]

I'ma bit confused. I have this simple remote call script, but when i call it twice to load two different objects, It only seems to work for the last call. It seems like one is preempting the other. Make sense?

function createRequestObject() {
	var ro;
	var browser = navigator.appName;
	if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
		ro = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
	}else{
		ro = new XMLHttpRequest();
	}
	return ro;
}

var http = createRequestObject();

function sndReq(page,target) {
    http.open( 'get', page );
    http.onreadystatechange = function(){
		 if ( http.readyState == 4 ) {
        var response = http.responseText;
        document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = response;
		}	
	};
    http.send(null);
}

These are executed after both target ids are loaded.

<script type="text/javascript">
sndReq('pop_contact_timeoff.asp?contact_id=123&mode=display','contact_time_off');
sndReq('pop_contact_timeoff.asp?contact_id=123&mode=display','contact_notes');
</script>

There are may ways around this issue... you could create 2 copies of the functions, or better still, create 2 instances of an object with those functions as method calls (don't forget to bind the callback to the instance in question).

You should ask for more help with any AJAXy stuff in this forum: forum1600.

Hope this helps,
